Ara Wine

Ara vineyardlies on a flat terrace where the Wairau and Waihopai Rivers meet, lifted above the rest of the valley by the Wairau Fault. The roughly rectangular vineyard is bordered by rivers on three sides, while the long western edge eases into the foothills of the Southern Alps. At Ara they get almost 2500 sunshine hours a year producing pinot gris, pinot noir and sauvignon blanc as single estate wines. Their building known as the Dart was designed by Warren & Mahoney.
